Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ian's desperate cry for Barbara in Episode 8 ('Tell her I'm here') echoes in Episode 9 as Barbara faces the Daleks' extermination order ('arrange for the extermination of all human beings'). Ian's love and loyalty persist despite spatial and temporal separation."
